Guest Redhawk Report post Posted July 22, 2002 When Public Enemy came to the WWF for a little bit in 1999, what happened to them? I've heard vague references about Faarooq beating up one of them for real, and of the APA being allowed to go stiff on them because they had an attitude problem or something. Who knows what actually happened? All I remember from that period was PE being in a small feud with the APA, and then they just faded away. Or maybe they got sacrificed to the Undertaker...I sort of remember that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted July 22, 2002 and what happen to the Pitbulls, i remember them being on WWF for at least one apperance on RAW? The PE were in WWF for what about a month, then dissappered after the tables gimmick was not deemed useable by WWF creative team? what exactly is the real story?

Guest franchise632 Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I dont remember seeing the Pitbulls on TV, i do recall them coming in for a dark match. I don't know if WWF didn't like what they saw, but the Pitbulls thought they were gonna be brought in and nothing happend with it. As for the P.E. story, I think they just got heat backstage and APA beat them up good and they took off. I don't really know the story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I guess the Pitbulls were just used as jobbers, not an actual part of the WWF roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Si82 Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I remeber Public Enemy in the WWF. I remember them getting a "blood bath" (russoriffic surely) and getting beaten up by every tag team in the WWF. I also read in Power Slam that when Public Enemy came in they were so dreadful that the WWF turned it into a angle where they were so crap all the other wrestlers hated them and thought they sucked so they would beat the shit out of them. Apperantly this was how the roster felt about Public Enemy anyway. Didn't Terry Taylor bring them in after being back with the WWF for only a few weeks. Actually, can anyone tell me how long and between what months Terry Taylor was back in the WWF in 1999. I remember seing backstage at the Royal Rumble 1999 in "Beyond The Mat" and last seeing him at Fully Loaded 1999. Can anyone help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Si82 Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I guess the Pitbulls were just used as jobbers, not an actual part of the WWF roster. Like when Public Enemy jobbed to The Smoking Gunns before Survivor Series 1995. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted July 22, 2002 The Pitbulls and PE were both cut for similar reasons: Without the hardcore atmosphere, they absolutley sucked massive amounts of dick and made teams like The Godwinns and Headbangers look credible. PE got a bit of an attitude about this I believe, so the APA demanded they die in the middle of the ring. I remember a particularly nasty Faarooq Dominator in which he seemingly intentionally drove Rocco onto the top of his head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted July 22, 2002 The WWF didn't think that there was a place for hardcore in the tag team division, but signed away a hardcore tag team anyway. It really didn't work out, so they got rid of them. Then soon after they brought in the Dudleys and gave them the table gimmick and it worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I thought the Dudleyz and Public Enemy were both in the WWF at the same time for a short while. One of those teams, during that (stupid) referee's strike, beat up Teddy Long because he was supposed to be friends with Faarooq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted July 22, 2002 i know they also caught heat for being seen in the background of a vignette shot backstage during their little mini feud with the brood during the bloodbath stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest deadbeater Report post Posted July 22, 2002 The Dudleyz held their own after their initiation, and established themselves to be the premiere tag team in the world. PE on the other hand turned into the Bushwackers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Son of Sting Report post Posted July 23, 2002 Kurt said in his book that he was shocked when he saw the match(he was in the front row) and that the APA were ordered to just stiff the hell of the PE. PE couldent take the hint and so were fired. Thats all i can remember of the top of my head from the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted July 23, 2002 why would the wwf waste the money in the first place then? they had to have seen the public enemy as a marketable tag team at some point but they must have pissed off the wrong people backstage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted July 23, 2002 I know in a lot of interviews that the Dudleys did, they often stated how they had to fight the label of an ECW Team b/c of PE. Basically PE felt they was bigger then they really was, while others saw them as rats who jump from sinking ships. They had an attitude problem, and the APA was basically sent to stiff the hell out of them. They got fired, and ended up making a brief appearance in the Junkyard Invitational Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JAxlMorrison Report post Posted July 23, 2002 Well I was at the Philly show where The Pitbulls jobbed to the Headbangers for Shotgun, and I remember reading or hearing afterwards that because of blown spots and just all around awful ring work The Pitbulls were not going to be picked up. Then at another show, they were supposed to come in as a mystery team for a Chain Match, but I think that was around the time they got busted for selling roids and weed, so it never happened.
